Your Next Favorite Band is a podcast based back in our old stomping grounds of Bethlehem, PA. One thing we all share in common: a love for building community through music.
On this mashup episode, we dive into our plans to do that — together — later this year. In addition, we get a history lesson on not only the UMC platform, but the formative events that shaped its development.

Over the course of the past decade, we’ve had the opportunity to make countless connections with artists and fellow creatives near and far. However, some of the strongest and most enduring reside right back home in Bethlehem!

It’s time to get personal on this week’s Quinn Spinn Solo Mission.
Our founder recently came across the opportunity to win a feature from Muscle & Fitness Magazine as part of the 2023 Mr. Health and Fitness competition.
That’s a long way from being 16 and diagnosed with a very malignant tumor, unsure if life would ever be the same again.
Gerard shares the story of what led to this point, and what this opportunity — at this point in time — could mean for UMC.
